For the Beijing social circles, the biggest news this year should be the return of Chu Yun Shen, the only direct descendant of the Chu family, to his ancestral home.

According to rumors, he was fostered by the Nan family from a young age. Without any help from the Chu family and starting from scratch, his investment company quickly became a leader in the industry, demonstrating his remarkable personal abilities.

It was because of his great success in business that the head of the Chu family learned of his whereabouts. However, the head of the Chu family wanted him to return as soon as possible, but he repeatedly made excuses and refused to return to the illustrious Chu family.

It wasn't until later, when the head of the Chu family agreed to some condition, that he finally relented and agreed to acknowledge his ancestors.

The Chu family banquet was scheduled for two weeks after the college entrance examination.

At 7 p.m., the entire Wangfu Hotel was booked out, and the banquet hall was packed with guests, all of whom were social celebrities, filling all five halls.

Luo Ziqing and Yi Wen followed Tong Su into the main hall. Looking around, they saw many high-ranking and powerful figures. As the only children in the room, they nervously patted their chests.

Looking at the five halls filled to capacity, Luo Ziqing clicked her tongue in amazement: "The Chu family has always been so arrogant. Of course, the entire Wangfu Grand Hotel has more than five halls, but since the Chu family is using them, no matter how many are actually occupied, the hotel will not accept any other guests today."

"Is it that amazing?"

Tong Su looked around and spotted a familiar face in the corner—Dr. Chu, the doctor who had treated her when she broke her leg.

Dr. Chu smiled and waved to her. Tong Su chuckled when she saw that the people sitting around her were all members of the Chu family branch.

No wonder, no wonder, Dr. Chu must have been sent by the Chu family.

At that time, Nan Yun Shen's background had not yet been revealed. Whether it was to inquire or to get closer, her entry into the Nan family hospital was probably also to investigate Chu Yun Shen's status in the Nan family.

Luo Ziqing said in a low voice, "Of course, this is the Chu family! Also, Yaoyao, are you taking us to the main hall? Shouldn't the main hall be for the Chu family members? Young Master Chu has been fostered in your family for so many years, so it's fine for you to come to the main hall, but we came in as your friends, so why are we sitting in the main hall? -- Speaking of which, your brother is actually Young Master Chu, that's really terrifying!"

Given the status of the Luo and Yin families, they could have received an invitation from the Chu family, but all the guests were the elders and seniors of the family, and they were seated in the side hall. The two of them came in with Tong Su, and they were able to sit in the main hall.

Tong Su said, "My brother said he specially arranged a table for me in the main hall, and I invited my friends over."

"Young Master Chu really spoils you!" Luo Ziqing gently pinched Tong Su's cheek. "I don't think this is even within the bounds of brotherhood, okay? Last year, someone at school gave you a love letter, and when Young Master Chu found out, he almost tore that person to pieces!"

Yiwen pushed up her glasses: "Don't worry, Yaoyao, I've checked the law. You and Young Master Chu have no legal kinship or blood relation, so it's legal for you to get married in the future."

Tongsu: "Sisters, aren't you overthinking this? We just finished the college entrance exam, and we're only a few months over eighteen. What are you talking about marriage for? Being single is so much better."

The other two winked at her: "You want to be single, but some people don't. Otherwise, what's the point of wanting to sever our sibling relationship so quickly?"

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Tong Su is thriving in the liberal arts class and her grades are improving by leaps and bounds. Yi Wen is a top student, not to mention Luo Ziqing's grades are slightly worse, but she has the talent of an athlete. The three of them have decided to apply to the Imperial University together.

As the three of them sat down at the table, laughing and joking, Nan's parents were also chatting with someone nearby. They didn't know what the other person was talking about, but the two of them gritted their teeth in unison.

"...Yes, the Nan Weixia you asked about, her sentence has just been handed down; she'll be in jail for many years. She really is—"
